Effectiveness of a group intervention to reduce sexual transmission risk behavior among MSM living with HIV
With an annual incidence of about 1.5 million new infections, HIV is an ongoing public health concern. Sexual transmission risk behavior (STRB) is a main driver of the HIV epidemic in most Western countries, particularly among specific populations such as men who have sex with men (MSM). This quasi-experimental pilot study examined the effectiveness of a ten-session group intervention, aiming to reduce STRB among a high-risk subpopulation of MSM …
Neural correlates of repetitive negative thinking
Repetitive negative thinking (RNT) captures an important transdiagnostic factor that predisposes to a maladaptive stress response and contributes to diverse psychiatric disorders. Although RNT can best be seen as a continuous symptom dimension that cuts across boundaries from health to various psychiatric disorders, the neural mechanisms underlying RNT have almost exclusively been studied in health and stress-related disorders, such as depression…
The Role of Perseverative Cognition for Both Mental and Somatic Disorders in a Naturalistic Psychiatric Patient Sample
OBJECTIVE: Perseverative cognition (PC) is the repeated or long-term activation of the cognitive representation of psychological stressors and is associated with prolonged stress including somatic and mental consequences. Hence, PC might represent a cognitive process linking mental and somatic pathology, but current research on this link is limited by investigating healthy samples, markers of somatic disease, and single disorders. The present stu…
How context, mood, and emotional memory interact in depression
Cognitive theories of depression hold that negative contextual triggers (e.g., stressful events) induce more negative and less positive mood, in turn instigating negatively biased memories. However, context-related variability in mood and emotional memory has received insufficient attention, while the dynamic interaction between these factors plays a crucial role in the kindling of new depressive episodes. Experience Sampling Method (ESM) for rep…
The Effect of Alexithymia on Attentional Bias Toward Emotional Stimuli in Depression
Alexithymia-reflecting deficits in cognitive emotion processing-is highly prevalent in individuals with depressive disorders. Subsequently, mixed evidence for attentional bias is found in these individuals. Alexithymia may be a potential influencing factor for attentional bias in depression. In the current study, 83 currently depressed (CD) and 76 never-depressed (ND) controls completed an eye-tracker task consisting of valenced (non)-social pict…
Emotional Biases and Recurrence in Major Depressive Disorder. Results of 2.5 Years Follow-Up of Drug-Free Cohort Vulnerable for Recurrence
An interesting factor explaining recurrence risk in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) may be neuropsychological functioning, i.e., processing of emotional stimuli/information. Negatively biased processing of emotional stimuli/information has been found in both acute and (inconclusively) remitted states of MDD, and may be causally related to recurrence of depression. We aimed to investigate self-referent, memory and interpretation biases in recurren…
A combined high-sugar and high-saturated-fat dietary pattern is associated with more depressive symptoms in a multi-ethnic population
Objective To identify a high-sugar (HS) dietary pattern, a high-saturated-fat (HF) dietary pattern and a combined high-sugar and high-saturated-fat (HSHF) dietary pattern and to explore if these dietary patterns are associated with depressive symptoms. Design We used data from the HELIUS (Healthy Life in an Urban Setting) study and included 4969 individuals aged 18–70 years. Diet was assessed using four ethnic-specific FFQ. Dietary patterns were …
The role of mastery in the relationship between perceived ethnic discrimination and depression
This study indicated that mastery may both serve a moderating and mediating role in the relationship between perceived ethnic discrimination and depression, suggestive of a process in which the impact of perceiving discrimination becomes increasingly more deteriorating over time. Thus, interventions focused on mastery may potentially be beneficial to improve ethnic minority mental health. (PsycINFO Database Record
Perceived Ethnic Discrimination and the Metabolic Syndrome in Ethnic Minority Groups
We found a positive association of PED with the metabolic syndrome in some ethnic groups, with PED contributing around 5% to 7% to the metabolic syndrome among Surinamese and Moroccans. This suggests that PED might contribute to ethnic differences in the metabolic syndrome

Patients' perspective on self‐management in the recovery from depression
BACKGROUND: Self-management appears to be a promising approach in the case of depression, which helps to stimulate patients' autonomy. However, a good and systematic description of the concept self-management from the patients' perspective, to our knowledge, has not yet been performed. OBJECTIVE: To determine: (i) what strategies patients think they can use themselves to recover from depression, (ii) which main themes of self-management strategie…
Decreased Resting-State Connectivity between Neurocognitive Networks in Treatment Resistant Depression
Approximately one-third of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) do not achieve remission after various treatment options and develop treatment resistant depression (TRD). So far, little is known about the pathophysiology of TRD. Studies in MDD patients showed aberrant functional connectivity (FC) of three "core" neurocognitive networks: the salience network (SN), cognitive control network (CCN), and default mode network (DMN). We used a …
Do unfavourable working conditions explain mental health inequalities between ethnic groups
The higher risk of mental health problems in ethnic minority groups can be partly accounted for by a lack of recovery opportunities at work, but not by perceived work stress. This may imply that workplace prevention targeting recovery opportunities have the potential to reduce ethnic inequalities, but ethnic-specific experiences at the workplace need to be further explored
The contribution of perceived ethnic discrimination to the prevalence of depression
We conclude that PED contributes considerably to depression in ethnic minority groups in a European context. As such, ethnic inequalities in depression could be reduced substantially if ethnic minority groups would not perceive any ethnic discrimination. We encourage more European research on the health impact of PED
Unravelling the impact of ethnicity on health in Europe
This paper describes the rationale, conceptual framework, and design and methods of the HELIUS study. HELIUS will contribute to an understanding of inequalities in health between ethnic groups and the mechanisms that link ethnicity to health in Europe
Good practice in mental health care for socially marginalised groups in Europe
Experts across Europe hold similar views on what constitutes good practice in mental health care for marginalised groups. Care may be improved through better service organisation, coordination and information
Mental health care for irregular migrants in Europe
Even in countries where access to health care is legally possible for IMs, various other barriers remain. Some of these are common to all migrants, whilst others are specific for IMs. Attempts at improving mental health care for IMs should consider barriers beyond legal entitlement, including communicating information about entitlement to mental health care professionals and patients, providing culturally sensitive care and ensuring sufficient re…

Clinical Problems in Community Mental Health Care for Patients with Severe Borderline Personality Disorder
The objective of this research was to assess the problems that professionals perceive in the community mental health care for patients with severe borderline personality disorder that do not fit into specialized therapy. A group of national experts (n = 8) participated in a four-phase Delphi-procedure to identify and prioritize the problems. A total of 36 problems reflecting five categories was found: patient-related, professional-related, intera…
Treatment of Post-Myocardial Infarction Depressive Disorder
Objective: To examine the antidepressant efficacy of a dual-acting antidepressant (mirtazapine) in patients with post-myocardial infarction (MI) depressive disorder. Antidepressants used in post MI trials with a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design have been restricted to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Antidepressant effects have been limited. Methods: In a prospective multicenter study, 2177 patients with MI were…
Higher prevalence of mental disorders in socioeconomically deprived urban areas in The Netherlands
OBJECTIVE: Major mental disorders occur more frequently in deprived urban areas. This study examines whether this occurs for all mental disorders, including less serious ones. It further assesses whether such a concentration can be explained by the socioeconomic status (SES) of the residents concerned or that a cumulation of problems in deprived areas reinforces their occurrence. DESIGN: Mental disorders were assessed by means of the General Heal…
